Top 10 Advantages and Disadvantages of Working from Home

Top 10 Advantages of Working from Home

1. Flexible schedule. You can take breaks at any moment, feel no rush to hang up
on your family members when they call and eat lunch at any weird time you
want.
2. Custom environment. Set up your noise level just the way you want it —
somewhere between insanely quiet to being at the front row of a Lady Gaga
concert. And if you’re mindful of your workspace ergonomics, you can create a
stronger rhythm for your workflows.
3. Cozy clothes. You get to wear those sweatpants from college with the letters
peeling off, or the leggings your friends don’t know you own. (And hopefully
never will.)
4. It’s easier to make calls. You won’t have to scramble to find a conference
room or deal with a particularly chatty co-worker. (Granted, kids and pets at
home can make this tough for some remote employees.)
5. Knock off some weekend to-do’s. That Mt. Everest laundry pile waiting for
you? That thing you set a reminder to get from the store 11 weeks ago? Cross. It.
Off.
6. No office distractions. Avoid co-workers debating the merits of cryptocurrency,
sirens wailing outside your window, the AC kicking in as you hide your icicle
tears.
7. Zero commuting. From bed to… bed? Hey, I’m not judging, it’s nice.
8. Save money. Lunch is expensive if you work in a city or downtown. In San
Francisco, it’s not crazy to see a $15 sandwich or $4 coffee. At home, you can
save big time by going to the store and preparing food.
9. Forget crowds and traffic. No stuffing yourself into a rickety transportation
tube, having people scuff your new shoes, or walking behind agonizingly slow
people who don’t know what a straight line is. (Am I bitter? No… not bitter…)
10. More time with loved ones. Take care of a sick significant other at home, be
ready for your kids earlier in the day, get some extra snuggles in with your
doggo, or simply get some quiet time to yourself!

Top 10 Disadvantages of Working from Home

 1. Willpower. Gotta get jamming on this new project, but Netflix says you still
have 4 episodes of Tiger King to watch...
2. Difficulty sticking to a routine. The order you do things at work is rarely the
order you do things at home. It can be tough to mirror your schedule and
processes once outside the office.
3. Missing important calls or pings. Oops, my phone was on do not disturb and I
missed a meeting! Or my boss slacked me and asked to prioritize something else
and now it’s 4:45 pm...
4. Calling UberEats anyways. You thought you were saving money, didn’t you?
Blam-o! $20 minimum and a $5 fee for the higher-rated Thai place. Should’ve
remembered to buy bread…
5. Power naps. This could arguably be an advantage… unless it accidentally lasts
45 minutes after your delivered double entree Thai lunch.
6. Boredom. Those office convos? Kinda missing Susan’s cat stories, eh? How
long can you go without seeing another living human being?
7. Working slowly. Sometimes the office has energy. Sometimes your home does
not.
8. No second monitor. How did I ever work without two giant screens looming
above me??? All 74 of my tabs are essential!
9. Iffy WiFi. At home or in a cafe, when the wifi starts to spaz and you switch
locations a couple of times but honestly spend more time parking and ordering a
6-shot mint mojito coffee with coconut milk and 16 grains of sugar than doing
work.
10. Waiting for an answer. You need to ask a super quick question, but it’ll impact
how you do something for the next hour or even the rest of the day. And there’s
no response. (Cue “The Waiting.”)
